Anvers, Paris apartment

18ème - Montmartre, Paris

Make like Amélie and explore the hilltop hood of Montmarte, home to artists’ ateliers, theatres (including the mythical Moulin Rouge), specialty shops and oodles of period charm.

The Montmartrois say they wouldn’t live anywhere else, and neither may you after ambling through the fascinating 18th. Climb to the Sacré-Coeur for breathtaking views, stopping off on the way for a portrait at place du Tertre. Or join the nighthawks in the bars and clubs on lower ground.
